Gingerbread is another great android operating system which is capable of doing lots of interesting and useful stuffs.

Froyo and gingerbread are basically same and you can notice the changes from outside but the bugs are fixed and security features are upgraded in the later one giving you better performance. Cyanogenmod is based in gb 2.3.5 and it looks quite different that other.. To find out merits and demerits it is better to try yourself cause same thing can be a demerit to one but merit to another.. Sorry, but can't post in the next weeks have to get prepared for my exams but in future i might do that...

Yagya,Thanks for your response..Any way i am waiting for you post what i have requested. All the best for your Exams.While posting please include the history of version, description and features include from previous version.

@Nachi My full Name is Yagya Gaire.If you want to test if you phone is rooted or not search for superuser app on your phone or alternatively search for 'root' on your market and you will get many apps that need root to run. Install one and if it asks for superuser permission allow it and run it. It will be proved that you have rooted your phone if the app shows superuser request and work well...

I have update my phone to the new gingerbread but now i cant root it. It says at the recoverymode that it cant open the zip file.... and i have done it several times over. What are my options because if i want to try to open a .tar file for the new cm7mod it doesnt even let me see the .tar file....How can i fix this? Thanks you so much for you answer!

Hello, Rain. Either you rename the zip file to update.zip OR instead (recommended) in CWM recovery select these options one after other and choose the file you copied to sd card. Go to Install Zip from sd>>Choose Zip from sd>> Select the zip file you copied earlier.

I don't know if it's me but upd_1.zip link does not work, it opens then when I click on download I am taken to 500 - Internal server error page. I found a copy in mediafire but wanted to confirm if it is the same file - http://www.mediafire.com/?f8jzvi7f6s29xjd

Please, try again and follow the steps carefully. Also, if you are trying it in Clockwork mod recovery then i suggest you use the system's recovery or upgrade to cm7 which comes pre-rooted --I'm fairly having an idea that it doesn't work with CWM recovery, but not so sure. Also, read the comments above and follow the links at the article above to find out more.

i did same as u said. Choose these options instead: Install zip from sd-card>>Choose Zip from sdcard>> Select . but again it saying installition aborted. then i try root with super one click v2.1.1 it says root #6 gingerbreak not found FAILED.

I am glad that you successfully rooted your gingerbread phone. You can go through this list of top ten mostly used and helpful apps for rooted users.http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/top-ten-android-applications-for-rooted.html

Or, if you are not satisfied with gingerbread, you can flash cyanogen mod ROM. Follow the link below:http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/flashing-cyanogen-mod-710-in-samsung.html

Netas3k, I have given the links of those place where you can get detailed information on rooting. I have collected the info from many places and after selecting the best method and testing it, only I've included the info here. Since, I don't know who made the update zip I can't give exact credits to him/her (I would like to thank the one, for his incredible job). For others the links should be enough. If you want me to give credits to someone who you think deserves it, please be clear. I have no problem in crediting his/her work.

abu mulla,Root directory is the first folder or drive that you get after opening the Removable disk (your mounted sdcard) in the PC. It is the /sdcard/ folder in your android smartphone. And, it doesn't really matter so forget about the root directory if you can't get what it mean.

Also, how are you trying to copy the file to you sdcard. Make sure data cable or card reader or whatever you use for connection are not protected. If you are using SD card adapeter to connected to your laptop then there is a lock that need to be opened in your adapter. Also, try again, or trying fownloading it right to your Mobile.

Dear Yagya I am curently on stock Rom and Recovery(2.3.6 ddk7).But I am confused which is the best option to remove internal memory issue(Link2sd that need root,dark's app2sd that need custom rom or s2e that need cyanogen)?I mean which is used by you??Moreover I want to know how to remove CWM to get stock recovery??Kaustubh Parashar

Thanks a lot. I've been messing about trying to root my Samsung Mini to unlock the phone and discovered that it has Gingerbread rather than Froyo. None of that means anything to me, but this simple walkthrough gave me SU.Straight away it told me that my provider was forcing a data connection through the phone rather than wifi, which is why it was costing me a packet, and why I wanted to change providers.

Anyway, I'll still change providers, and thanks to you guys I'm a lot wiser. Especially now I know these phones are a simple version of Linux, not some super weird OS.

I did find the connection of the SDcard 'as another drive' didn't always work, and had to connect and transfer the file through Kies in the end.

Samsung galaxy pop/mini gts5570 is an awesome Smartphone that ships with stock android 2.2.1 (Froyo) operating system.

Official stock firmwares are those that are leaked from Samsung and are made available for download for the users. You can install these official firmwares on your device --without voiding your device's warranty-- by two ways. One way is to use Samsung Kies to Upgrade your firmware to latest version and other is to use Odin Multidownlaoder app to flash downloaded firmwares on your device. The second method is usually preferred since it is very fast and safe to most extend (i.e. if you know what you are doing). So, in this article I will tell you how you can upgrade your device's firmware to official updates from Samsung using Odin.
